If he had stuck strictly to cops, we'd be all good, but one of the first people he murdered wasn't one.
Going after the families of bad people when they really didn't play any role in the bad person's actions is abhorrent and indefensible. Kids shouldn't have to pay for the sins of the father and all that.
It doesn't completely invalidate the good he did do/say, but it's definitely a black mark on his record and why I can't really get fully behind him, even for meme reasons.
I've brought him up before, but I think Micah Xavier Johnson is overall a better example. Apparently he was a sexual harasser when he was in the military, which is obviously terrible, but at least you can say when he went on his spree that he didn't go for any non-cops.
When fighting monsters, one must be careful not to become one themselves. I can understand how one passionate enough and angry enough to fight back could have their morality twisted and see taking children from people who have taken our children as fair play, but we should absolutely lay it down in stone that it is NOT okay. Rip the monsters apart, don't hurt innocents around them.
he was just a disaffected worker not a crusader lol
